  1. As soon as you sign the contracts and make the purchase and Apple verifies all the information, you can create your distribution certificate, provisioning profile and then sign your app with the certificate, and distribute your app with the profile.
  2. There is no limit to the number of devices.
  3. No, you do not need to get the UDID's of the devices for Enterprise distribution.
  4. Just send the app and the distribution provisioning profile to the user who has the new device.
  5. The certificate is used to sign the app - to my knowledge there is not an "ad-hoc" vs. "distribution" certificate.
